The stupid thing about the article is it doesn’t identify viable alternatives. Build a mall? Well I reckon shops in the city centre would have something to say about that. Build council houses, there would be outrage as it’s next to a sewage plant. .

all I see is it will increase tourism to another part of the city that has **** all. So what if they build swanky flats. What they are proposing doing with the existing ground more than makes up for building a load of flats. Clubs need to have sustainable income on their land so hotels and apartments make perfect sense for clubs to move forward and afford the outlay of doing the stadium.

do actual Liverpudlians object to it? Or just sour grapes that Everton would have the better stadium?

The people I've discussed it with think It'll be good for the City. A couple of them are STH's at Liverpool too.

Your last paragraph is correct.

It’s a piece written by a bitter Kopite and posted by another one....

The Bramley Moore Dock is where the stadium will be built which forms part of the Liverpool Waters development of the North Dock area (north of the Liver building - that Moshiri now owns - if you know the area)

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liverpool_Waters

https://liverpoolwaters.co.uk/

There’s nothing to currently link Moshiri or the club to the rest of the development though. As for public acceptance there’s been two lengthy consultations carried out by the club before the detailed planning was submitted, and it was overwhelmingly positive.

Can’t imagine it would be anything but positive.

I didn’t wonder up that far past the liver building when I went up a few years ago. Was going to meet one of the lads off the pool board for a pint and the **** bottled it.

I live 30 miles south of Birmingham and the investment in the city has been immense, huge swathes of utter **** areas have been transformed.

Any development next to water is always a winner. Look at Portsmouth for an example. The investment in the old docks down there have transformed it from a **** hole where you felt unsafe to a swanky area of nice flats, bars and restaurants.

The [HASHTAG]#official[/HASHTAG] documents don't say the pier will be reserved for Usmanov's yacht either but everyone can see it coming

The rest of it not?

The council here is pumping millions in building a hockey complex. Does anyone know anyone that plays hockey? Whilst our local football team doesn’t have a ground.

I meant that your last paragraph is the reason for Astro’s butthurt. He’s never been to Liverpool so has no reason to prattle on about the council pumping money into anything to do with Everton.

We will definitely find out if Levy is the genius you all portray him as, over the next 12 months or so.
With Maureen at the helm, he’s going to have to pull a few rabbits out of the hat, otherwise you’re likely to have a number of years as a mid table team?

The way we were going under Poch, that’s exactly where we were heading.

I don’t see how Mourinho can be considered any more of a gamble than any other appointment that Levy might have considered. Indeed, I think it’s better than I would have expected.

The question isn’t about Mourinho; it’s about whether or not Levy will match Mourinho’s ambition.

On that, I have my doubts.

Levy couldn't match Poch's ambition mate, so there is no ****ing way he's going to match Maureen's budget demands.
 
Man Utd are still a smaller club than Everton, and Man City are still a smaller club than Villa
